This it is the injustice! (Yes, perhaps not the great injustice, but the injustice nonetheless.)

One need only look at the dozens of the recent articles in the mainstream press about the influence of the fashion blogosphere to see that the fashion blogging has become the phenomenon that cannot be ignored. But ignore it the Bloggies have done, undoubtedly because the organizers of these awards are the post-adolescent techno-geeks more interested in talking about the electronic doohickeys and the Web 2.0 than the subjects that are of real interest to many millions of the blog readers.

If, like the Manolo, you wish to see the fashion blogging as the category in the Bloggies, go to the website of the awards and send the organizers the email politely expressing your desire to have the fashion blog category included forthwith.

How timely! There have been some grumbling in the dance blog community that there is no category for “performing arts” blogs, even though there are some very very cool ones out there. (Though at least this year the bloggies did add category for music, but that still leaves out a whole world of other arts.)

I’m shocked….shocked! This is indeed a misjustice. But I agree with Bon Mot….this isn’t really a Fashion Blog, it is both Topical and Humorous. Where else can I go on the web to get an idea for something to wear, something to read, something to watch….all the while laughing to myself.

I haven’t checked, but I’d go out on a limb and guess that beauty blogs aren’t recognized, either. The geeks who don’t care about the shoes tend not to care too much about the lipgloss.
In my book, The Manolo is always a winner.

Manolo, I have fired off a very complimentary email to Mr. Nolan
about including a category for fashion weblogs. Injustice cannot
long survive a fervent onslaught of dedicated fans of the Manolo,
I feel sure.

Also, while the categories do not fit the Manolo as a bespoke garment might do, there are other categories for your work, as others have pointed out: Topical, Humorous, Best Written, American, & as Laura points out, The Best!

I echo Gaia, the Non-Blonde, & shout: You are a winner to the core, Manolo, mon ami d’Internet!
